Typhon Parking lot bashing the Typhon, improving handling

[sumguy75]

Been having fun street bashing the Typhon, so much I'm ready to go all in dialing in for the street.

Got Limitless shocks and cf towers on the way to drop it lower. Wondering what other things would make it handle better?

haven't run it with gnss analyzer yet, but pretty sure it doesn't have room to go above 50-55 where I bash the most, so lots of quick turning and accelerating out to bolt down another aisle. Some drifting but not a ton.

Stock esc and motor for now running 4s 26/50 gearing and grps. I've got up to 80wt on hand. Diffs are 30/500/20, thought about going 1million in center,
don't know if it would help or hurt on 4s.
What shock oil weight for the Limitless shocks?

Any bellcrank upgrades that make a big difference over stock? Other things that would help reduce weight/improve handling?

No picks or video?

Oops!

Need to add I aready upgraded the servo, servo mount and chassis braces.

Me personally, I would lower center diff fluid weight to 200-300k, maybe go slightly heavier in the front.
For a street basher you're on the right track going with Limitless towers and shocks, keeping that lower center of gravity will help with handling, I would also run it with the rear hub carriers in their longest wheelbase position..!!

If you have grippy tires it makes sense to get the stronger spring for the servo saver. Stock the Typhon starts oscillating in corners putting the Typhon in a snake like drive in long corners. Does not happen with Arrma Hoon tires. I have Limitless V1 Towers, Springs, shocks on mine, XM5 tires.

Looks like your servo is mounted backwards. Here is stock.

Lol, sure is! I built it from parts bin and went off memory without checking exploded view. Funny the steering range and response seem normal, will swap it around anyway.

Didn't realize the spring could be upgraded, is the Limitless spring stronger or is there an aftermarket version?

The V1 Limitless spring was giving me the swaying in long corners. Used the stronger Arrma spring.
I think this is the replacement: ARA340178
